使用mysql 5.5.8命令行设置密码的正确语法

Question

我刚刚下载并安装了WAMPserver 2.1,我想为MySQL 5.5.8数据库设置密码.我正在lynda.com和导师(Kevin Skoglund)的指导下输入:

mysql> use mysql
Database changed

mysql> UPDATE user
    -> SET Password = PASSWORD('paSSword')
    -> WHERE user = 'root';

当我按Enter键时,我收到有关WHERE语句的错误:

ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual
  that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use
  near 'WHERE' user='root'; at line 2

有谁知道WHERE语句的正确语法？他的课程是在2007年完成的,所以我想语法已经改变,因为它在视频中对他有用.这条线路为他返回:

Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1 Changed: 1  Warnings: 0
mysql>

谢谢

Answer 1

这适用于我的测试服务器:

mysql> UPDATE user SET password=PASSWORD('newpassword') WHERE user ='root';
mysql> Query OK

您正在尝试设置密码而不是密码(小写)

我在使用 lynda.com 教程时遇到了同样的问题。解决办法是：

UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('cleartext password')
WHERE User='root';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
